It is said of you and allwho wear and have worn the uniformof Semper Fi..."Once a Marinealways a Marine!"

And so very trueis it for Marines like you,who answered the noble call,for America and fellow citizens all,always standing bravely tallevery waking hour of each long daygoing about your duty the Marines' way,even willing to pay the ultimate sacrificeto save others from the same deadly price.

So, as you look down from Above...know that you will have America's constant loveand remembered for being the man and Marine you were,whose great heroic example will always endure.

This poem is my way of paying tribute to one of my youngest son's fellow Marines, a uniquelybrave young man, whose ultimate sacrifice of heroism, will always exemplify unreservedlove and pride of America . . . He made the USA better for just being Jason Dunham!
